I'm serious: When I read a quote from Sarah Palin, my Brain Neurons go into a tailspin.

via Charles Pierce:

"If you lose that foundation, John Adams was implicitly warning us, then we will not follow our constitution, there will be no reason to follow our constitution because it is a moral and religious people who understand that there is something greater than self, we are to live selflessly, and we are to be held accountable by our creator, so that is what our constitution is based on, so those revisionists, those in the lamestream media, especially, who would want to ignore what our founders actually thought, felt and wrote about in our charters of liberty - well, that's why I call them the lamestream media."

Princess Dumbass of the Northwoods would like to thank the local fire and rescue people for using the Jaws Of Life to extricate her from that sentence.

nice sentiment, Sarah, but you and your Republicon pals make a mockery of it daily.

Own your own freaking shadow, for Gawd's sake, and stop trying to project in on others.

Wake up and smell the RepubliStink (R).

But its no one's fault that she just couldn't cut it. Or should I say knew how to cut it. A deal. She made a deal with herself. She knows exactly what she is doing. I don't give a damn what excuse she uses as her reason for leaving the Governorship it was always about the loot. As long as she was Governor she could not access unspent Campaign contributions, book deals, or any kind monetary improprieties. She had almost a million dollars handed to her as soon as she stepped down. She also had a reality show deal, Faux News Contributor, and guest appearance fees. She is no dummy. She knew what side the tea party cheddar was on. She is a direct descendant of the Freedom Heritage citizens United front. But I love how she is going down. She looks hideous. Skinny and over wrought. The narrative for an inciteful woman such as herself should be just what this trick ass broad gets. She is directly responsible for getting Congresswoman Giffords Shot. Her little map with the crosshairs was nothing but a prelude to violence. And when she got what republicans wanted she tried to step away from it and republicans tried to shield her ass from the heat https://www.facebook.com/notes/sarah-palin/dont-get-demoralized-get-organized-take-back-the-20/373854973434. Ms Palin is a piece of work. And I will say it again. In my opinion Princess Caribou can't hold anything. She can't hold a Governorship, a book deal or sales, a reality show, a job at Faux, a credible conversation, or a black ball player.

Once she isn't sexy any more, the tea party movement may just die out.

I know, I know, nobody here thinks she's sexy or ever was.

Mission Accomplished!
Sending your Brain Neurons into a tailspin is exactly the purpose of this woman's existence in the mediasphere.

The powers that be are perfectly happy to throw tuppence in her direction, simply because it gets people like you and me to waste our time talking about what a dolt she is. It's a teeny-tiny investment for them, and it keeps us coming back, again and again and again and again, to laugh at her antics. But she serves a very specific purpose.

If we spend our time laughing at these clowns, it's time we are not spending organizing, protesting, thinking of and working on solutions to solve the problems caused by her paymasters. She is a distraction, and we keep getting distracted. It's fun to laugh her, it's entertainment that can be done in pajamas from the couch. (like me, right now)This way, we don't actually have to DO anything.

She DOESN'T exist to really even get anyone to agree with her. If that happens, it a bonus. She exists to get people to DISagree with her. Over and over and over again. On and on, every day. Say something stupid and watch us idiot "liberals" waste our time talking about her word salads. She's not trying to express anything, her job is to destroy brain neurons. Seriously, her paymasters are laughing at us all the way to the bank. Every. Single. Day.

She also represents a payday for people like Charles Pierce. Would he... and I certainly love his way of twisting words into beautiful rhetorical sculptures... Or Rachel or Jon or any of the other "liberal pundits" even have a job if it weren't for the likes of Palin? Would they have anything to talk about at all? If the Palins of the world didn't exist, what would they talk about?

I was going to spend the next couple of hours in my pajamas, on the internet, until it starts snowing later. But I've just changed my mind. I'm tired of being a sucker. I'm tired of watching good people like you be suckers. I'm going to go do something productive instead.

Cheers!

Sara not only creates new words and 'creative' syntax, she creates new fallacies. Illogical ones.

The above is a great example:
"… ignore what our founders actually thought, felt …"

I guess this could be considered a false attribution but she didn't even say what the founders were thinking … she just said that the lamestream media was ignoring them. If anybody on DU can help me classify this kind of loose verbiage. It just leaves me speechless.

I wish it did the same for her.
